- Fanget Gennem Linsen At fange bevægelse i det helt rigtige øjeblik kræver et skarpt øje og en fornemmelse for stemningen i rummet. Min utroligt dygtige fotograf formår netop dette. Hun ser detaljerne, energien og øjeblikkene, der gør billederne levende. I dette blogindlæg deler hun sin tilgang til at fange bevægelse og atmosfære – glæd dig til at se verden gennem hendes linse! www.loulou.dk

If you’re thinking about running a half marathon (or any running event), the first and most important rule is: start early. The earlier, the better. Don’t wait until tomorrow if you can start today. Time and a steady progression will prevent injuries and prepare your body in the best possible way. Now, if you’re like me—over 40—you know that our bodies need a little extra care. Recovery time isn’t as quick as it was in our 20s, and overdoing it can mean setbacks. That being said, your body is still amazing and capable of so much more than you think! I’ve been training for a spring half marathon every year for the last four years, and I absolutely love it. It gets me in shape before summer, and the atmosphere at these events is just incredible. I still get goosebumps every time I participate. My goal is never to be the fastest; I just aim to improve every year. And believe me, if I—once a sprinter, never a long-distance runner—can now run further and faster in my 40s than ever before, s

- Lower Back Pain and range of motion (or shall we say lack of motion?) Let's Talk About Lower Back Pain and Range of Motion As a physiotherapist, I often see how pain and limited range of motion go hand in hand. When pain strikes, especially in the lower back, we tend to protect the area by reducing movement—often leading to even more discomfort over time. That's why it's crucial to maintain and check your movement in all directions that your joints are meant to move. Focus focus on pelvic tilts forward and backwards (anterior/posterior), sidebend (sideflexion), and rotation in a supine position. Doing these exercises while lying down reduces the chances of compensating with other joints, making them ideal for those dealing with acute pain. WHY SUPINE? Supine exercises help you isolate the movement in your lower back, keeping the focus on your tailbone and pelvis. This isolation ensures you're moving the right areas, even when pain is present. KEY TIPS - Start gently and focus on area

- Isometric training is the ultimate champion in lowering blood pressure Recent research reveals that isometric training os the ultimate champion in lowering blood pressure - both systolic and diastolic! Compared to other workouts like interval training such as cycling, aerobic training like running, and strength training, isometric exercises take the crown. All it takes is a 2 - minute wall squat or plank, following by a rest of 1-4 minutes, repeated 4 times, 3 times a week. If you're short on time but high on blood pressure, this routine is your new best friend!

Over 20 years of working as a physiotherapist has taught me countless lessons about the human body. One of the most important? The need to progress exercises thoughtfully and intentionally as patients recover. I've seen firsthand what happens when the body is overloaded too quickly—the strain on muscles, soft tissues, joints, and even the nervous system can be significant. This is why I always emphasize individualized treatment plans. When rehabilitation and maintenance are tailored specifically to someone’s needs, the outcomes can be transformative. But it wasn’t until life threw me off my own fitness path that I truly understood the power of leveling up workouts. For years, I had danced, run, and worked out for 10 hours a week. Fitness was my anchor. Then, life got busy. Too busy. I found myself with little time or energy to prioritize my workouts. While I didn’t have any major pain or discomfort, I could feel my fitness slipping away. My strength and endurance weren’t what they used

Did you know that research shows about 80% of us will experience back pain at least once in our lives? That’s a staggering number, and as a physiotherapist, my job is to help you recover as quickly as possible when that pain and stiffness sets in. Not only do I want to help you get back to feeling good, but I also want to give you the tools and care to prevent that pain from making an unwelcome comeback. So, today I thought I’d share my own personal story. If you’ve followed my previous blogs, you might already know about my first experience with back pain. But recently, I had another encounter with it—and let’s just say, the timing wasn’t ideal. The Week Before the Ski Holiday It was the week before I was heading off on a skiing holiday with family and friends. Now, if you’ve ever been on a ski trip, you know that packing isn’t exactly light work. Downhill and cross-country ski gear, outdoor clothes, indoor clothes, and, of course, food planning—I had quite a few lists running through
